🗓 #OnThisDay in 1944, the Battle of Leningrad, the longest military engagement in the history of the Great Patriotic War, ended with a Red Army victory.
The fighting, which lasted from July 1941 to August 1944, took place on the territory of the Leningrad Region, the Estonian SSR, in the western Kalinin Region, and the southern part of the Karelo-Finnish SSR.
Destroying Leningrad was a primary goal under the Operation Barbarossa plan, given the city’s industrial and cultural significance. Hitler planned to use Leningrad as a springboard to strike at the rear of the Soviet troops defending Moscow.
The battle included several stages: defence of the distant and near approaches, 872 days of a siege, the breakthrough and the Soviet offensive in the northwestern direction. Instead of taking the city in three weeks, as Hitler expected, the Nazi troops spent about three years at the gates.
While the Red Army fought fierce battles, the local people selflessly laboured and steadfastly endured the horrors of the siege. The ring finally closed around Leningrad on September 8, 1941. More than 2.8 million people, including 400,000 children, found themselves in the enemy pincers, facing harsh winters, famine and continuous bombing.
Favourable conditions finally developed in January 1943, when the main forces of the Wehrmacht were sent to Stalingrad. During Operation Iskra, the troops of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts broke through the German defences, restoring the land connection of the city with the mainland.
🕯 Losses among the defenders and the population of Leningrad, resulting from the fighting and from the siege totaled 1.5 to 2 million people.
🎖 Over 350,000 soldiers, officers and generals of the Leningrad Front were decorated with orders and medals. The medal For the Defence of Leningrad was conferred on 1.5 million people. In 1965, Leningrad was among the first to receive the title Hero City as a tribute to the heroism and courage shown by its residents during the siege.

🕯 On August 9, 1945, the United States carried out a nuclear strike on the Japanese city of Nagasaki, three days after dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The attack wiped the city off the face of the earth, killing more than 70,000 people instantly; another 95,000 died years and decades later from diseases caused by radioactive contamination.
💬 From the memoirs of an eyewitness, Yasuaki Yamashita: The A-Bomb had turned the centre of Nagasaki into an inferno of death and devastation. Communications and transportation were disrupted. There was no food in the city and we were starving. One week after the explosion we walked through the rubble of the city centre where fires still burned. Some years later I worked in the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Hospital. It was very painful to see the survivors still suffering from the effects of burns and radiation.
The attack on Nagasaki was the final stage of a monstrous test of a new weapon of mass destruction to see how effective it was when used on cities, infrastructure and people.
Americans took the bombing calmly, believing it would accelerate the end of the war (in reality, that was brought about by the USSR starting hostilities against Japan). US President Harry Truman, who ordered the attack on the Japanese cities, had no doubts about his decision until the end of his life, referring to the Japanese as savages and barbarians in his diary.
💬 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: Atomic bombings by the United States were in fact a show of force and an operational test of nuclear weapons on civilians. The United States was the first and only country to use this type of weapons of mass destruction. We must join our efforts to ensure that the terror and pain of Hiroshima and Nagasaki will never repeat. The tragedy left a deep imprint on the hearts of the Russian people. (Sergey Lavrov’s message to the participants of the memorial ceremony in Hiroshima on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing, August 6, 2020).

#Ukraine
Having no results on the battlefield to demonstrate to their Western masters, the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev continues to vilely resort to terrorist methods against people in Russia, striking civilian targets, including those far from the front line.
It is revealing that NATO countries are supporting the barbarous actions of the Kiev regime, and continue supplying it with arms, training Ukrainian soldiers and supplying Ukraine with intelligence information for dealing strikes with missiles and drones, including at strictly civilian facilities.
#Niger
We consider it is extremely important to prevent further escalation of tension in Niger. We believe that there is no alternative to the restoration of law and order and the start of an inclusive national dialogue as soon as possible.
We support the mediation efforts undertaken by the African community to help the people of Niger overcome the crisis. At the same time, we believe that an intervention by the troops of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in a sovereign state is unlikely to contribute to the achievement of lasting peace in Niger or the stabilisation of the subregion.
